And there you have it. From the below BBC report, it’s clear that Obama isn’t any different from Bush. When it was reported that his pastor made critical remarks about the US’s track record in international affairs, Obama distanced himself from them, saying he denounces any statement that disparages “our great country”. He can’t or won’t be honest about the USA’s track record in sponsoring state terrorism around the world. If he can’t do that, ow can he change things? If a Presidential candidate isn’t willing to speak honestly, what hope is there that he is genuine about changing things for the better?

See how the Democrats and the Republicans are just the same party? Nothing is going to change until we find a way to re-engineer the system, folks.

In a sermon on the Sunday after the attacks of 11 September 2001, Mr Wright told his congregation: “We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans, and now we are indignant because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought right back to our own front yards.

“America’s chickens are coming home to roost.”

“I categorically denounce any statement that disparages our great country or serves to divide us from our allies,” he wrote.
